Wanted for 330, “YOUNG MEN!” Quali- fications—unattached and goodlooking. Area for Eligibility—Joyce Linardy thinks that the SHS football squad is a good place to start. Pat De Cellis thinks that room 31 is just about tops. Peggy Joyce would like to start with a certain somebody from South Boston High (traitor). Benefits—Two young ladies in front seats guaranteed to talk your ear off; one slightly groggy Roberta Brien- zine; a charming young lady, Mary Andrade, is willing to help any eligible boy behind in his studies; and Lydia Stavrinos has an extra pair of crutches. If the proposition sounds appealing, please apply. We think you'll have fun. Normal procedures have been going on in room 205. Filling out papers and getting acquainted with the school has been our most tedious task. Comical events also happen in this room. Three girls trying to get through the door at the same time doesn't work out too well. Most of the chatting from the girls has been about BOYS! If it weren't for teachers like Miss Keating, we probably would never stop. Although the boys have once more been classified as angels, they seem to start most of the trouble. A recent poll in 114 resulted in the follow- ing way: Bill Flynn was voted the most pop- ular and most likely to succeed; Rita Newell the prettiest, and Bill Ferullo the handsomest and best dressed; Richard Perreault unani- mously won the position of most talkative, while James O'Donnell followed closely be- hind as the class flirt; and last but not least, Rosemarie Maffeo and Gene Iannacone the quietest girl and boy. A few pet peeves from 352 are: Natalie Baeno, geometry; Judith Zermani, school; Beverly Farnell, homework; and Alfred Col- leameno, afternoon sessions. Claire Womblat, the pretty new girl from Bedford High School, is as confused as the rest of us Sophs. Look for a whirling and twirling and you'll find Elaine Di Pinto, our Drum Majorette. The keeper of the keys is Edward Roberts, while our sure-shooter is Diane De Nitto, a member of the girls’ basketball team. Our Romeo, John Nicosia has a pleasing smile, but Fred Darjeo rates a second glance be- cause of his flat-top. The winners of the Mr. and Miss Popu- larity Contest in room 210 were William Barry and Antoinette Mazzola. Marilyn Rigazio holds first place as the cutest girl, while Paul Beattie and William Barry finished neck-to-neck as our handsomest boys. Bar- bara Magnusson and James Burns were voted the brighest in the class. Lorraine O’Connor won hands down at the quietest and John Desmond was chosen the most co-operative. James Shea and Irene McCarthy were elected as class clown and most talkative, in that order. The class athlete is Antoinette Mazzola. Donald Desmarias takes the cake as being the class Romeo. Evelyn Ventura was voted the most likely to succeed. Homework, without a doubt, is our class pet peeve. There are always some funny things going on in room 344 when Gerald Mills, the class clown, performs his show. Each room has its own characters, as does this room, with Marlene Pitcher, our Robin Hood. Prancing around the room in her pretty pointed shoes, she performs the job of bank treasurer. Janet Mucci never has a dull moment, as specials aren’t the same unless she takes out her makeup, powders her face puts on lip- Twenty-four

Did you know Joanne Brine doesn’t like short, cute boys and that Janice Kadler doesn't like to get up in the morning? The results of the poll taken in room 30 have just been released: Sally Moore is the prettiest girl; Beverly Richardson is the most studious; Thomas Paine is Mr. Hand- some; Delores Lynch is the best dressed girl; John Traniello is the best dressed boy; Nancy Davis and Arthur Burns are the most popular; the class song is “You Send Me“ (where?). The ingenious pupils in room 27 have de- cided to honor the following professions with some of their members: Policewoman, Char- lene Tyfe; osteopath, Lyle Devereaux; aerial engineer, James Callahan; undertaker, Wil- liam Coogan; electrical engineer, Wendell Jones; record librarian, Kathryn Mimnos; fireman, Joseph Flores; actress, Bonnie Moran; clerical worker, Marjorie Driscoll; automobile mechanic, Ray Antetomaso; and John Turner, choreographer. Occupants of cell block 324 want to know if Stephanie Colleron and Elaine Highland will ever stop talking during special period. 324 is proud to have Rita Falco, Ruth Melley, and Karen Halaby in Good Govern- ment Group and to have Stephanie Colleron among the SHS cheerleaders. Everyone in room 25 is “All Shook Up’’ over the loss of the door knob. Will the scoundrel who took it please return it? Congratulations to Phyllis Oates recently elected vice-president of the Girls’ Glee Club and to the football star, Bill Del Vecchio, who finally paid the last installment of his class dues. Attention! Room 330 announces election results: Miss Success, Carolyn Mullane; Mr. and Miss Popularity, Edward Linehan and Rita Naimo; Miss Cupid, Jean Manza; Mr. and Miss Flirt, Edward Linehan and Marie Compas; and Mr. Clown, Donald Chartrand. The members of room 221 are anxious to get to know you. Irene Tasse from Trieste, Italy, says “Bon Giorno” to you all. 221 boasts vivacious drum majorette Jean Rumson and “Delicate Delinquent” Richard Daly. What do Warren Mahady and Dave Sheehan confer about at the back of the room? Why does Karen Jones find French so fascinating? These are the questions puz- zling the minds of 332’s bright students. Welcome to Club 232! The most exclusive club in town. Look around. That tall, slender lad talking with the girls is Joe Barrett. The one who’s giving Joe the most attention is Dale Dangora. Across the room Louise Musto and Annemarie McWheeney, two permanent bankers, laughing with the great track star, Alan Stanford. Oops! There is a comedian Anthony Irani trying to make Carmen Gailey stop singing “You Send Me.” He can’t make Carmen stop. Help!!! The members of room 24 have selected Lois Bertocci as the best dressed girl; David Pegoni as best dressed boy; Mary Nelson as prettiest girl; David Pegoni as handsomest boy; Virginia Young as the most likely to succeed; and Sidney Kana as class clown. David Pegoni and Vincent Pero represent room 24 on the football squad and Mary Nelson honors room 24 by being a cheer- leader. Calling Sam Spades! Can you solve the three mysteries in room 32? (1) Why does Angie Errico wear pink kneesocks with red shoes ? (2) What is Elaine Cafarelli’s newest pastime now that the baseball season is over? (3) Why is John Tosi so quiet? Way up in room 329, next door to the sky, the students are chattering about election re- sults. Among the girls Nancy Bond is most popular; Barbara Davidson is best dressed; Mary Cronin is most likely to succeed; and Loretta Treska is class flirt. In the boys’ de- partment Raymond Mahoney is most popu- lar; Russell Brown is best dressed and most likely to succeed; Redmond Mahoney is class flirt; and Tliek Kouropenis is class clown. Room 329 boasts football player Redmond Mahoney and majorette Barbara Davidson. Way down in a corner of the West build- ing’s basement dwells a real gone gang. As you walk by, you hear three cheerleaders (Nancy Noble, Jean Compagnone, and Janice Nissenbaum) drowning out the not- (turn to page 30) Tw«nty-thrcc

stick, and combs her hair for the fourth and fiifth periods. Room 106 has elected the following as their class officers: Proctor, John Maclsaac; Assistant Proctor, Janice Santos; Bank Treasurer, Ruth McKee; Room Reporters, Harold Mitchitson and Diana Flores; and John Maclsaac, bus ticket representative. If you want to forget your troubles, just come to room 110. With class comedians Ronald Boyd and John “Tiny” Fitzgerald, you’re bound to come out laughing. Our money-mad treasurer, Marietta Haley and Carolyn Rania are usually found counting money long after fifth period. Two very good athletes from this room are Robert Bar- letta and Paul Murray. We are happy to an- nounce that one of our members, Eleanor Passero participated in Talent Night. Room 206 would like to introduce you to a few of its occupants. There is Roy Beau- champ, our handsomest and best dressed boy; Adele Ferrari, the prettiest and best dressed girl; talkative Carmen Villa; studios Elsie Scioli; class clown, Andrew Biondo; and Diane Gordon, the girl with the best sense of humor. 349 would like to know what would hap- pen if Edward Clarke would not be absent, John Arcantoi did not do his homework, Robert Laghetto wasn’t playing football, Robert Veno did all his homework, and John Murphy stopped singing. A few definitions from this room are: Eiffel Tower—a French erector set that made good; alarm clock— a device to wake people without children; college degree—a receipt a son gets for the bills dad paid; hypocrite—a funeral director trying to look sad and directing a ten thous- and dollar funeral; sympathy—what one girl offers another in exchange for details. Among the talented breadwinners in 109, one without a doubt stands out above the crowd. Jackie Solari has been leading horses at the Pony Stables for two years without a mishap. What appears to be the latest hair style has hit 109 with a thud and is resting on the head of Ray Chamberlain. Paul Mi- randa is portraying the part of Romeo pretty well these days. Jane McPherson, the gig- gling wonder from Northeastern, is feared to have a pair of red kneesocks that possess the power to start her frequent spells of laughter. A few pet peeves from room 341 are: Joyce Clough, hunger pains; Joe Boti, girls; Janet Hardy, girls with dirty sweaters; Jenny Rodriguis, dirty ears; and Adele Poplawski, unpegged pants. Room 113 is really bursting with pride. Our room is being represented on the track team by Anthony Sordillo and on the major- ette squad by Sandra Connolly and Nancy McLucas. Robert Deardon and Connie Pege- lino are complaining that the hike up the hill is too much for them. Like basketball and hockey, the season for 354 is just beginning. First in our parade comes our proctor, Robert Radochia, and his assistant, Carol Santosuosso, both doing fine jobs. Next in line carrying several bags of gold and a strong box is our banker, Geraldine Mitchell and her assistant Donna Murdock. Proceeding after that with several stacks of papers, pens, and sharp ears, come our reporters Nancy Valente and Ronald Russo. Towards the end of the parade we have our fine bus ticket representative, Nancy Morgan. Finally at the end of our parade is the protector of valuables, “Mr. Locker Boy,” William Maney. Our news being finished, we will have to go, but just wait until the next issue when we will visit you again. Twenty-five
